Piconet 0.5.4

The server moved to a new address. Everyone must update to race; the launcher updates itself.

The launcher now says Official Server.

Piconet 0.5.3

• Fixed a cause of desyncs: a boost press could be lost when several of a player's inputs arrived together.
• Everyone must update to race.

Piconet 0.5.2

Quick Play

• Quick Play lobbies start on a countdown once two players are in: 60 seconds with two, shorter with each player who
  joins, down to 10 seconds with one seat left. A full lobby still starts at once, and a start vote of more than half
  still starts it straight away. The time left shows beside the lobby's steps. Custom lobbies start as before, by
  their host or their vote.
• Every 0.5 build finds the same lobbies: the server groups players by version line, not by exact build.

Game

• After you finish, your camera shows its finish shots once (about 12 seconds), then you watch the race as a
  knocked-out racer does: the leader still racing first, the same buttons.
• The results move on by themselves, as if you pressed A: your own results page after 15 seconds, then the page
  with every racer 30 seconds after it opens.
• Replays are about a tenth of their old size: a race of three minutes is some 30 KB instead of 300 KB. A replay
  from this build needs this build or a later one to play; replays of every earlier build still play.

Launcher

• Replays are grouped by date: Today, Yesterday, Earlier this week, Last week, Earlier this month, then each month.
  The page opens at once with thousands of replays, and its scroll bar is always there to grab.
• The Replays page lists and plays the new, smaller replays.
• The race view says of a player who has finished whether their game is still open or they are back in the lobby.
• The portable zip is back beside the installer on each release: unzip it and run, with your data kept beside it.
• Custom lobbies: the Garage and your machine choice now follow the lobby's own machine setting. A lobby set to 0
  showed 100, and in a lobby of "your own setting" or a range everyone's choice was sent as 100.
• Settings, Launcher: "Controller navigation", off by default. With it off, a controller does nothing to the
  launcher's pages; setting buttons on the Controller page still works.
• A custom lobby's "All rules" closes when you go to another page.
• The notices list closes when you click outside it, press Escape or change pages.
• Replays: "•••" stays open on one row at a time, and deleting a replay keeps the other rows as they were.
• Enter joins from a locked lobby's password box, which now has the cursor when it appears.
• Practice runs show as "Practice" in Quick Play's recent races.
• Smaller fixes: drop-down text centred, labels lined up with their controls, the Garage's empty-shelf note no longer
  behind the New machine tile, ranges read "80 to 100", long course names wrap, roomier Stats rows, table headings in
  the same capitals everywhere.

Details

Game

• Smaller replays. A replay is still written step by step while the race runs, so a game that stops on the way
  leaves a whole replay of what was raced. When the race or the practice ends, the game rewrites it in the new,
  compact form: the same race, the same inputs, nothing a race computes changes. Over 135 replays of one player's
  folder the average went from 296 KB to 32 KB. A launcher or game from before this build says such a replay is "of
  another version of the game".
• A replay checks its results too. Playing a replay compares, as before, the race at every step with the
  recording, and now also the finish order and times at the race's end with those the replay holds; a difference is
  said in the game's log like a step that differs. Replays from before 0.4.0 are not judged by their results, since
  some of them recorded results from a moment that was not the race's end.
